Snot is not made of feces or urine, it is completely separate from them. Feces are undigested food mixed with bacteria and chemicals your body secreted during digestion. Urine is waste and excess fluid from the kidneys filtering the blood. Snot is mucus made in the respiratory track to keep the membranes moist and clean.

ohhhh, okay, thank yOU!

Urine helps your body get rid of nitrogen!


There, that's my cool science fact for the day.

ok.i know snot is not urine or fecies,but i did not know urine gets rid of nitrogen.

Your body can't really do anything with it, so it just goes out with all the other things your body didn't use or need.

weird, so pee contains traces of Nitrogen gases... weird, i am gonna tell my health teacher that!

It's not nitrogen gases, it's jsut mixed in with your urine. Urine doesn't have gases coming off of it... if it did, there's probably be a doctor or 4 or 5 involved.

oh... okay, well, still, because the nitrogen is excessed through the process of urination, traces of nitrogen will still be found in the urine and or around it...
